• Small, oval, indigo-colored clingstone fruits are prized for their rich, tart, and complex flavor. Its golden yellow flesh is often too astringent to eat fresh; they are a culinary staple for high-quality jams, spirits, and savory sauces. Ripens August to September. Self-fertile, but planting two trees is recommended for a better crop. Attracts pollinators and is a host for larvae and shelter for nesting birds.
